Our Enertaining Speaker
At our February meeting, we’ll hear from a speaker who might be called a Renaissance man: Ross Clark. Last millennium, Ross was a state secondary teacher of English and social sciences, but now combines part-time university teaching with poeting and other work.

He has published and performed much poetry in Australia and overseas. His Salt Flung into the Sky was published mid-2007, and Ross has been awarded a Johnno, a Centenary of Federation Medal, and the Australian Book Review Poetry Prize.

He has also edited poetry and fiction for several Australian journals, and for University of Queensland Press.

His creative focus in the past few years has been on song-writing and performing, occasionally solo with guitar, preferably with a band or one of his duos (including Daylight Moon, his partnership with Helena Bond, and the uke band BUMS).


Easy new meeting venue
Our new meeting venue is Unit 2/63 Annerley Road, Woolloongabba. The entrance is from Crown Street. The best parking is in Annerley Road inbound side between Gloucester and Crown Streets.

Our new meeting arrangements mean we self-cater the drinks and nibbles. Tell us whether or not you’re coming … PLEASE … so we get the catering right.

We do hope you’ll plan to join us.
